That's what the experts are telling Boris though , according to him...
The double bread winner economy Mike is why the schools haven't closed as yet in my opinion although I think it's inevitable they will very soon .

They could well remain closed until September and obviously someone has to look after them , who knows how many that takes out of the workforce , a few million I reckon .

Financial hardship kicks in and once the bills aren't getting paid you have a problem .

In my department at work alone amongst just 10 of us 7 have kids at school and both parents work full time and once they close for that period of time 4 of them haven't anybody to care for them .

Absolute catastrophe on our hands and we haven't even got started yet .
